REFLECTION QUESTION
Health Audit Toxic Cleaning Products in my Home

To what extent do you believe that environmental factors contribute to your own health or issues with health?

Laura Rogers 10/02/2019 11:11 AM

REFLECTION QUESTION
Community Volunteer in my Community

What is one thing you can do to help your community become more sustainable?

Laura Rogers 9/30/2019 4:28 PM

I love volunteering at the Oregon Food Bank. They do so much more than give food to people in need. They also work with businesses to save food from going bad and turn it into another item (ie vegetables going back turned into soup). This helps the environment, people in need, and lessens waste.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Water 5-Minute Showers

Five minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?

Laura Rogers 9/30/2019 2:07 PM

My next step is to reduce the amount of water I use when washing the dishes. I tend to leave the water running while I wash, when I could actually turn the water off.

Nature Go for a Daily Walk

How do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?

Laura Rogers 9/30/2019 2:06 PM

I get to see more of my neighborhood this way. I notice what my neighbors are doing, how the leaves are changing, and what else is going on. Some days I even run into my neighbors on my walk!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Recycle Everything I Can

What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

Laura Rogers 9/30/2019 2:04 PM

Things are very easy for me to recycle in my area. I also live with someone who recycles polystyrene, so we are able to reduce our impact on landfill even more.

Food Try a New Way to Prep

Canning and pickling food is a great way to have delicious summer fruits and vegetables all year round. Just make sure to follow the canning and pickling guidelines from the USDA. What are some foods that you would like to preserve and enjoy later in the year?

Laura Rogers 9/30/2019 1:42 PM

I am going to harvest zucchini from my garden tonight. I am going to freeze some of it and bake with the rest.
